I can't make the rant...

So, from time to time I will completely spaz on this forum or that forum or in the comments of this site or the other.  Typically I will invest more emotion in a subject than it really warrants.  Here is one such rant I dropped on Digg.com to little or no acclaim in response to a lament about lack of "hardcore" games for the Wii.

"I think that's because "hardcore" is a convoluted and meaningless term. Games should be challenging, fun, and hopefully fresh/innovative. Apparently all a game needs to be hardcore is some headshots, blood, tits, a fuck here and a shit there and BAM... HARDCORE. Battallion Wars 2 is a seriously kickass game. No blood though so it's obviously not hardcore. Meanwhile, yet another dead simple FPS that's the same as everything before it is cock slappingly hardcore and sends low IQ adults and underdeveloped teens into paroxysms of uterine style hysterics. Everytime I see the phrase "Hardcore gamers" my mind instantly replaces it with "Gamers who are fascinated by explosions and aren't very good at spelling." Fuck the hardcore mold. If you people want to play games to pleasure the same part of your brain that tingles when you touch your penis then buy an xbox 360 or a ps3 and shut up about the wii. If you want to play good games regardless of whether they are bloody or controversial then a wii is a good addition to your arsenal."
